Country brief

How identity verification works in Tunisia.

The fraud surface and the frameworks an engineering or compliance lead needs before scoping an integration.
Fraud landscape
Three pressures shape Tunisian identity fraud: synthetic-CIN and deepfake attacks targeting BCT-licensed payment service providers and the new wave of crypto operators under the 2024 framework, national identity card forgery across legacy paper and current biometric formats, and AML pressure on remittance and stablecoin corridors under CAF sanctions and MENAFATF mutual-evaluation requirements. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session, face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
Compliance frameworks
  • Loi n° 2015-26, Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing Law
  • Loi organique n° 2004-63 relative à la protection des données à caractère personnel
  • BCT Circular on Digital Onboarding and Electronic Know Your Customer (eKYC)
  • Loi n° 2016-48 relative aux banques et aux établissements financiers
  • MENAFATF, Middle East and North Africa Financial Action Task Force mutual-evaluation standards
  • FATF 40 recommendations

04 · Registry

Cross-check the identity at scale.

Tunisia does not currently expose a public government consumer API open to third-party integrators, no public database validation API exists for the Ministère de l'Intérieur's CIN register.

  • The OCR + biometric + AML stack is the authoritative CAF- and INPDP-compliant path today: the CIN national identity number is OCR-parsed from the card, the face is matched against the document portrait, and the AML stage screens the extracted name against every Tunisian regulatory watchlist and MENAFATF regional designation.
  • For phone, email, and address enrichment, pair the session with global Database Validation services that already work in Tunisia today.
  • A direct Ministère de l'Intérieur authoritative-source lookup ships as BCT eKYC Circular and INPDP-compliant data partners onboard, Enterprise customers can talk to sales to wire it into their workflow.

FAQ

Common questions about Tunisia.

What does Didit ship?

Didit is the infrastructure layer for identity and fraud. One Application Programming Interface (API), 25+ composable modules across four product lines:

  • User Verification (KYC, know your customer), Identity Document Verification, liveness, face match, Anti-Money Laundering (AML) screening, Internet Protocol (IP) analysis. $0.33 per full bundle.
  • Business Verification (KYB, know your business), registry, Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO), officers, entity AML, plus a linked KYC session per UBO.
  • Transaction Monitoring, real-time rule engine, case management, Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) workflow.
  • Wallet Screening (KYT, know your transaction), on-chain wallet risk at $0.15 per check, or bring your own screening provider and run it inside Didit.

Compose any module into a workflow with the visual no-code builder, ship in 5 minutes, 500 verifications free every month, forever.

How is Didit different from a single-product Know Your Customer (KYC) vendor?

Most identity vendors sell one slice, a KYC check, an Anti-Money Laundering (AML) list, a wallet screen. Didit ships the infrastructure underneath all of them, and the gap shows up on six axes:

  • Pricing. Public price on every module, $0.33 for a full KYC, 500 verifications free every month, no minimums, no contracts. Single-product vendors hide six-figure minimums behind a sales call.
  • Access. Sandbox in one click, self-serve from day one, production keys on signup. Single-product vendors gate the sandbox behind a contract, months to evaluate.
  • Developer experience. Public docs, a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Claude Code and Cursor, and native Software Development Kits (SDKs) for Web, iOS, Android, React Native, and Flutter. Integrate in 5 minutes with an AI agent or in a working afternoon by hand.
  • User experience. Highest pass rates in the market, sub-2-second end-to-end inference, country-specialised capture flows, 48+ languages out of the box.
  • Flexibility. One /v3/ Application Programming Interface (API) composes 25+ modules across KYC, Know Your Business (KYB), Transaction Monitoring, and Wallet Screening (KYT, know your transaction). A KYB session spawns a linked KYC for every Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO); a flagged transaction spawns a step-up KYC remediation, same session, same webhook contract, same audit trail. Single-product vendors sell one shape of KYC and stop there.
  • AI-era fraud. 200+ real-time fraud signals scored on every session, deepfake, injection, synthetic-ID, document forgery, face-morph, device intelligence, replay. Single-product vendors treat deepfake and injection detection as roadmap items, not defaults.

Common in fintech and crypto, the same architecture fits marketplaces, iGaming, mobility, and any vertical where you need to know who someone is and what they are doing.

What does it cost? Is anything actually free?

500 verifications free every month, forever, on every account. No credit card. No sales call. No expiry.

Above the free tier, every module has a public per-success price on didit.me/pricing, $0.33 per full KYC bundle, $0.15 per Identity Document Verification, $0.15 per Wallet Screening, $0.20 per Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Screening, $0.10 per liveness, $0.05 per face match, $0.03 per Internet Protocol (IP) analysis.

Pay-as-you-go, no minimums, no overage surprises. Volume discounts kick in automatically as you grow.

Which Tunisian regulator covers identity verification on a digital onboarding?

Five sit on top of every Tunisian identity-verification flow:

  • Banque Centrale de Tunisie (BCT), prudential supervisor for banks, electronic-money operators, and payment service providers. Sets digital-onboarding and eKYC requirements for every BCT-licensed institution.
  • Commission d'Analyse Financière (CAF), Tunisia's Financial Intelligence Unit. Administers Loi n° 2015-26 on anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing and receives Déclarations d'Opérations Suspectes from obliged entities.
  • Conseil du Marché Financier (CMF), capital-markets regulator. Sets digital-onboarding requirements for CMF-licensed securities firms and investment funds.
  • Autorité de Contrôle de la Microfinance (ACM), microfinance regulator. Sets KYC obligations for microfinance institutions.
  • Instance Nationale pour la Protection des Données Personnelles (INPDP), Tunisia's data-protection authority. Enforces Loi organique n° 2004-63 relative à la protection des données à caractère personnel. Governs how verification data on Tunisian residents is captured, stored, and disclosed.

Didit ships the hosted flow + the audit log + the watchlist coverage to satisfy all five at the same time, same POST /v3/session/ workflow, same JSON report, same SOC 2 Type 1 + ISO/IEC 27001 evidence pack.

Does Didit screen against the Tunisian CAF sanctions and terror-financing lists?

Yes, on every AML Screening call.

  • Didit screens names against the global pool of 1,300+ sanctions, PEP, and adverse-media lists.
  • Plus every Tunisian national list CAF expects an obliged entity to monitor, National Commission for the Fight Against Terrorism National Sanction List, Government of Canada Freezing Assets of Corrupt Foreign Officials (Tunisia) Regulations, House of Representatives PEP register, Tunisia Stock Exchange enforcement register, and MENAFATF regional designations.
  • AML Screening costs $0.20 per check; Ongoing AML monitoring costs $0.07 per user / year and re-checks every customer daily, what CAF-obliged institutions need for the periodic-review obligation under Loi n° 2015-26.
Is Didit compliant with Tunisia's data-protection law (Loi organique n° 2004-63)?

Yes, Didit's hosted flow is designed for INPDP compliance under Loi organique n° 2004-63 from day one.

  • All verification data is processed and stored with SOC 2 Type 1 + ISO/IEC 27001 controls, the evidence pack INPDP expects from a licensed data processor operating on Tunisian residents.
  • End-user consent is surfaced at session start, the hosted UI presents the purpose, scope, and retention period before any biometric capture, matching the informed-consent requirement under Loi organique n° 2004-63.
  • Data minimisation is built in: Didit returns only the verification verdict and extracted fields your workflow requests, raw document images are purged on your configured retention schedule.
  • INPDP-compliant data-processing agreements are available on Enterprise.
How long does it take to integrate Didit in Tunisia?

5 minutes to a working sandbox, a weekend to a production flow.

  • Sign up at business.didit.me, grab an API key, call POST /v3/session/ with a workflow_id that wires ID Verification + Passive Liveness + Face Match + AML, done.
  • AI-agent path: paste the integration prompt at docs.didit.me/integration/integration-prompt into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Devin, Aider, or Replit Agent. The agent provisions the application, builds the workflow, wires the webhook, and runs a smoke test.
  • Five SDKs share the same session model: Web, iOS, Android, React Native, Flutter.

The first 500 verifications every month are free, forever, pilot the full Tunisia stack at zero cost before flipping production traffic.

Which language does the hosted verification flow use for Tunisian users?

Arabic, auto-detected from the user's browser / device locale. The hosted UI ships in 48+ languages with full right-to-left support; Tunisian users land on the Arabic flow by default, and French is live on the same flow for bilingual or international-team users.

The document-recognition layer is decoupled from the UI layer, capture works in any language, and the admin console can be set independently to whichever language your compliance team prefers.

What does the Tunisia verification cost end-to-end?

Per-module public pricing, pay only for what runs on the session:

  • ID Verification, $0.15 per document check.
  • Passive Liveness, $0.10. Active Liveness, $0.15.
  • Face Match 1:1, $0.05. Face Search 1:N, free.
  • AML Screening, $0.20 per check. Ongoing AML, $0.07 per user / year.

The full KYC bundle (Identity + Passive Liveness + Face Match + IP Analysis) is `$0.33`, same anchor price worldwide, no Tunisia surcharge. 500 verifications free every month, no credit card. Volume discounts auto-apply above the free tier; Enterprise adds a custom Master Services Agreement (MSA) and data-residency choice.
